Akpla looks really good, but there is no way he's 6'0 is there? Looks REALLY short. Not that that's a bad thing because he looks like he can stretch the field.

I like Dale Moss out of South Dakota State. Played 4 years of B-Ball there and made the conversion to football for the last of his eligability. He's raw but has great hands, can jump out of the stadium and is super athletic. His hardwood skills translate to the football field really well.

My boy Coale just ran an unofficial 4.4 40 time, did not expect that. If that time stands, along with his versatility where do you see him being picked OTC? I think he's definitely worth a look more than ever.

You definitely get credit for predicting that he times faster than he plays, just reread your initial response to me.

Kashif Moore is a WR that can be had late in the draft or as UDFA. 4.42 40. 43.5 Vert. 126 in broad. He's only 5'9 but is showing he's explosive.

Coale's official is 4.5.

A few guys I've mentioned:
Lavon Brazill - 4.48
TJ Graham - 4.41

Been keeping tabs on Kashif. I would like to hear more about what teams think about his lack of production, despite his striking physical abilities. Is it because of QB play? UConn's run-heavy offense? Both? Can't be sure. But you have to like his chances late.

Compact player, 5-9 180 4.42 (official) with 19 reps on the bench and that impressive explosiveness that can be inferred from the Vertical and Broad jump numbers.
